#SaveTheBooks

Detroit‘s Mark Twain library, which was closed in 1996 for renovations and never reopened. Just look at all of the forgotten volumes. It‘s tragic. I want to go in and find them all new, loving homes. The poor dears.

kmshaffer Wow! 6y
GingerAntics @kmshaffer right? You‘d think even if you weren‘t going to reopen the library, you‘d give the books to other libraries that were open, but apparently not. Just imagine what has been lost, because the books were just left to slowly decay. That pile of books makes me sad, and not just because the pages are getting ruined. 6y
AlaSkaat Treasures lost at sea. They should have packed those books, if they didn't need them, and sent them to poor countries where Libraries and books are needed. Such a waste!! 6y

julesG I can't believe it. 😢 6y
JazzFeathers I can't believe it. What's the sense of it? If you don't mean to reopen the library, donate the books to who will enjoy them. It's heartbreaking. It's madness. 6y
Bklover Noooooo!!!😢 6y
kmshaffer No kidding! I‘m sure many libraries would love to have these lost treasures! Makes me sad too 😢 6y
Weaponxgirl That‘s awful! Why waste so much in general, let alone books! 6y
Tamra How horrible. 6y
Crazeedi What a tragic photo! Makes my heart hurt 6y
GingerAntics @OleAnder @julesG @JazzFeathers @Bklover @kmshaffer @Weaponxgirl @Tamra @Crazeedi if nothing else, let book lovers come take them. They‘ll give them good homes or take them to libraries in their communities. Mark Twain must be rolling over in his grave. It‘s so sad. I guess this is just more proof that America does not care about knowing things, just having things. Well, most of America. (edited) 6y
AlaSkaat Books are sooo undervalued 😕 6y
ravenlee We need some book ninjas to liberate these poor orphans. 6y

It was a busy morning at the library as we prepped for Hurricane Flo!

Marilyncjackson Oh man good luck to you all. Stay as safe as you can. 🤗 (edited) 6y
Book_Fairy_Mary @Marilyncjackson thank you so much! 6y
Marilyncjackson @Book_Fairy_Mary I realized wish was a bad choice of words but I really do hope you all stay safe and the storm is not as bad as they think it will be. 6y

Book_Fairy_Mary @Marilyncjackson your word choice was just fine! 😊 We're also hoping it's considerably less catastrophic than they keep saying. Fortunately, the news keeps indicating just that, so fingers crossed! 6y
zzz I hope everyone stays safe and I hope the books make it 🙏 6y
Book_Fairy_Mary @Jen_is_always_reading thank you! I hope so, too! 6y
ReadingBetween Wishing all the best for you, your community, and your library! 6y

#LetsGetRediculous #GetMovin rediculous! Me & hubby have these 2 new books only 2 weeks now ... mine is in perfect condition 👼👼. his has already ended up in the bath 🤦🏻‍♀️. He says : the pages arnt stuck together, I can read it ! He dips in & out of books to learn & I read novels ( he can‘t get into a novel ) but , I say , as I dry out the book on a radiator, it‘s rediculous ! He dosnt get it. 🙄. Men 🤷🏻‍♀️or at least , my man 🤷🏻‍♀️
